So long Chicago...

Well, its been two months in Chicago and now it's time to move on. I've written about a lot of the things that I've enjoyed about this city, but here are a few more:

• Deep dish pizza- not my favorite crust but the over-abundance of cheese makes up for that.

• Jabarritos- a steak sandwich between two fried plantains created by Chicago's Puerto Rican community.

• The Chicago Cultural Center- a nice place to check out local art, see a freeze concert, or just hang out at the cafe. Home of the world's largest Tiffany glass dome.

• Roscoe's- we spent many a Monday night at this bar in Boy's Town for live band karaoke. Everybody gets a chance to be a rock star!

• Blue Chicago- classic Chicago blues club. The musicians looked like they were thirty or forty years past their prime, but they sounded amazing.

• Robie House- home on the south side designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. He considered it to be the cornerstone of prairie style architecture.

• The Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago- houses some really cool artifacts from the ancient Mid East. I learned that in ancient Persia, bulls looked more like horses (or at least they did in sculpture form).
